Daily Maintenance Weigh In, Thurs. Jan. 2

147.2  The Snow-Gods have smiled upon me and school is canceled for today---Yay and Whoopie!  Now, to take down the rest of the decorations and relax and get ready for the next two months....  Have a great day!

166.8    Ate stupid.  Gotta stop eating stupid.  Gotta get some quality sleep. 

You've got this, Nancy!  Has 30 minutes gone by?  Start with a big glass of water--or hot tea---or whatever liquid.  Drink and count it as YOUBEINGTHESMARTAND VICTORIOUSPERSONTHATYOUARE!!!  Step one.  There.  Now you are on the right path and pointing the right direction.  Next step after that?  Same direction.  Eyes on the prize.  And that sleep you so desperately need?  No one is going to tuck you into bed but yourself, so do it tonight.  No excuses- be your own best friend today!  I'm rooting for you.  Bonnie

Thank you, Bonnie, thank you!  I should have clarified that I ate stupid yesterday and don't want to eat stupid again today or tomorrow or ...  So far, so good today.  You're absolutely right -- NO excuses! 

Sleep is going to be interesting, as we are scheduled to have our deadbeat tenants locked out by the sheriff tomorrow at 9am **IF** the snow we're expected to get doesn't shut down the courts and thereby the lockouts.  arrrrrgggggghhhhhh  We've been trying to get them out for months, and my stress level is way up there. We're racing against time and frigid temps in hopes of pipes not bursting due to the electric being off there for over two months now.  Avoiding coffee for the rest of the day, and hoping to exhaust myself to sleep tonight.  Thanks for listening and for reminding me of the path!!

How stressful, Nancy!  Hopefully you get this resolved soon and you can put this behind you. Hugs

I know your pain, hun. We were lucky - no courts involved. He left on his own...sort of. All we had to do is take time off work and make sure he was gone, gone. 

The hardest part about elevated stress is not turning to food. Sometimes I still do. 

Honestly, just do what you can to get through it and have a goal of maintaining (no gaining). 

Hugs to you. 

Yup, can't justify messing up my maintenance over stuff like this. 

The governor has emergently closed state offices tomorrow, so I'm just waiting for that other shoe -- the courts -- to drop and be closed, which would delay the lockout until at least Monday.  All we literally need is for the guy to show up and declare the property to be ours since the tenants aren't living there with no electric/hea****er (all dependent on the electricity they lost through nonpayment two frickin' months ago) and since my husband is going to change the locks himself.  Can't get the electric turned back on without the lockout paperwork. 

148.2 - leftover from New Year's Eve. I also had a dinner out last night with my Dad. I ate steak and salad, but I'm feeling the extra salt.

My family has their first consultation with the personal trainer at Lifetime fitness today. WOOT!!

I love having a personal trainer. It shakes things up and I'm not bored. She pushes me to do things I would have never done on my own!  

We have our first training session this Saturday. I don't know how many we will do. I'm just so happy and thankful to have a place where we can run away and spend a few hours just taking care of us. We had a few minutes to kill and I took my kids on the turf court. I haven't heard my daughter laugh and giggle that hard in months. It was sweet music.
